People are speculating that wwe is now inserting crowd noise into their live shows.

Just sad if that’s true. That some Trump administration level stuff right there. :lol:

I mean, they've been editing negative crowd reactions for years, especially when Roman Reigns was involved, so not sure why anyone would be surprised by this.

I haven't watched Raw or Smackdown in forever, so I was just going off of previous posts. No idea if they're actually doing it, but I don't think it would be at all surprising given their history of editing crowd reactions.

The wrestling is on point, but the storylines are pretty pathetic to be fair.

Muting the crowd is one thing. Adding fake noise in to support your own heel/face booking seems cheap/weak even by Vince standards.

Shinsuke (c) vs Strowman tonight. They have to out the title on Strowman right? Shinsuke has been IC champ for 200 days and defended it 3 times.

Aaaaaand it happened. Interesting where the stable will go from here. But I don't think the feud is over.

Main event is stupidly entertaining. Roman was enjoying that dog food segment, you really can tell

That Miz/Morrison ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollwood’ segment was one of the best things I’ve seen in years. Truly tremendous stuff.

Of course new day has to come out and immediately bore me but nonetheless, great stuff.

The Dirt Sheet was great stuff.
Goldberg vs The Fiend. I just want Goldberg to bounce of The Fiend when he spears him.

Best part of the New Day promo were the dudes getting popcorns from Big E's bucket!

Meltzer is speculating that Goldberg will go over at Super Showdown because Goldberg vs Reigns at Mania will draw more interest. That would be hilarious having two part time wrestlers as your main title holders. Only in the WWE...

A match with no selling - interesting. Then again, Golberg's likely to accidentally injure The Fiend or himself.

It's an interesting choice they made. I don't get it really and I have low expectations for the fued and match.

If nothing else it will be fun watching the fans crap all over that match.

That would be the stupidest decision ever.
So it could really happen...

I cant imagine that would be the case, build up the Fiend just to feed him to Goldberg. Unless the want to ensure a Reigns pinfall gets cheers, I guess him beating Goldberg would be more popular than beating Bray

They can go that route like The Fiend suddenly turning to Funhouse Bray pre match and gets surprised with Spears
